‘Call me the grinch but Christmas always makes me feel deeply sad. It is filled with so much excessiveness and greed. I just hope everyone gives the gift of love and acceptance this year to not only their own family but those around the globe who don't get everything they wished for due to life's unfair circumstances.’ | Miley Cyrus

Cumberbatch's weight issues
Benedict Cumberbatch bulked up for his role in Doctor Strange, but the actor says post the film he had to shed a lot of kilos for his part in Sherlock. The British star said he had no time for a break between wrapping on the Marvel film and returning to Sherlock and it was a tough task for him to lose weight. “I finished on Doctor Strange and, that night, I got on a plane. The next morning, I woke up and was driven to Cardiff. I was not in Sherlock shape. I was in Doctor Strange shape so I was quite big! I was chunky - in a healthy way, an athletic way - and he's not necessarily, Sherlock,” Cumberbatch said.
